Abstract: An electric heating device a housing with a partition wall which separates a connection chamber from a heating chamber for dissipating heat and from which at least one PTC heating element with a heating element casing protrudes in the direction toward the heating chamber. At least one PTC element and conductor tracks, electrically connected in the connection chamber for energizing the PTC element with different polarities and connected to the PTC element in an electrically conductive manner, are supported in the heating element casing an insulated manner. For improved support of the PTC heating element, a holding element, engaging around the heating element casing, is connected to the partition wall on its side facing the heating chamber and is connected to the heating element casing. Also disclosed is a method for the manufacture of such an electric heating device.
